"The moral panic around the film Cuties explains why so many right wing extremists are using the “groomer” “child predator” attack to smear their enemies today." buff.ly/3V4P3Nf

this is literally what apple's app store stuff is pushing, because they classify all LGBTQ content as adult content, which is why we asked you to stop pushing pressure through the app store. apple is just as conservative as disney, probably more so actually twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/stat

This paper went viral and was presented repeatedly as evidence (by influencers) that COVID vaccines were killing people. Then it was placed under review. Fact-checkers *and the AUTHORS* disputed how it was framed on Twitter.

Just because something is published doesn’t mean labeling interpretive framings of it as “misleading” is “censorship”. Here was one clarification trying to explain what it did and did not say:

@lucifargundam seems unnecessary. Seems like an aesthetic thing. I'm not off a function over aesthetic person

Just like drag and abortion and contraception and porn and sex education and LGBTQ+ lives, sexual wellness — and sex itself — is on the Republican chopping block. motherjones.com/politics/2016/

oh also, I'll be moving my PC to a new case that *should* have better airflow because it's cooler, bigger, has a case fan in the front and back, and has vents (covered with dust-filter mesh)

Super happy with my christmas gifts. Gonna be nice to upgrade from a 4th Gen Intel CPU to a 12th Gen Intel CPU. Looking forward to better performance benefits in video games from having a newer CPU :) (and DDR4 Memory)

"But the accused “groomer” of 2022 was less likely to be an abuser, and more likely a teacher, a parent to a transgender child, or a medical professional." buff.ly/3v8w0qE

Stigmatization of sex work means that those known to work in the sex trade," known prostitutes," are treated differently by the community & law enforcement, who often discriminate against them when they make claims/try to file reports.

Telling kids that people who commit abuse are monsters prevents them from recognizing abuse when the perpetrator is someone they love and trust.

A study of compound swears used in Reddit comments from 2006 to 2020 has found that the most popular combination is ‘dumbass’ (3.6 million comments). The 444 combinations used only once include ‘sleazenozzle’ and ‘bastardbucket’.

stop referring to child sexual exploitation material as “child porn.”

pornography refers to erotic material consensually produced by adults. children are incapable of giving consent. their participation in “pornography” is never consensual & always exploitation.

A Christmas Eve story: had my 2nd day snowboarding with the family today, and then headed home from Tahoe, exhausted (probably not the best idea to exhaust myself boarding immediately after Covid recovery, but... too late). On the long drive home we stopped at iHOP for dinner. iHOP is not good food, but after a day on the mountain, it sure feels like good food. When we got there, there were a few other families, but as we were getting ready to leave we were the only ones left...

"Platforms like social media networks and adult content sites rely on Section 230 to justify good-faith self-regulation and moderation. But, the law remains controversial among both major political parties." buff.ly/3WcG7Gv

"The law covers books and written material too. The Moscow Times, an anti-Putin news publication based in the nation’s capital, reports that bookstores across the Russian Federation started removing LGBTQ works from their catalogs." buff.ly/3PqvcGR

@worfwood @gamingonlinux I hope that jackass gets sued so much that he ends up living in a cardboard box on the side of the highway

Once again, Elon doing crooked shit on Twitter. The new views counter is completely fake and bumps it up by random numbers. It’s the Facebook video views lawsuit all over again.
